RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN/AP) — Taylor Farms has expanded a voluntary recall to include North Carolina for iceberg lettuce products sourced from central Mexico over a potential link to the multistate cyclospora outbreak that has sickened hundreds in the Raleigh area and others across the United States.
At least 307 cases have been reported across North Carolina, with Wake County reporting 270 of those, as of Friday.
Products with the potential to be contaminated with the diarrhea-causing parasite were shipped between June 29 and July 16 to 27 states, including Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Jersey, the California-based company said in a statement Friday.
